Kean Phelan, alpha male, expected a night of fun and fornication for himself and the males of his pack. A full moon brings out the animal for a night of rutting, which is why he’s invited escorts to entertain.
What happens when Kean realizes Callie isn’t one of his escorts…but his mate? Can he protect her, fight for her, and ultimately claim her once the pack discovers an outsider amongst them?
Will Callie accept Kean and take her place as his mate?
Read the Excerpt -
“Who are you? What are you?”
Kean handed her the dress. “You were the one who said you
wanted the animal.” He growled and stepped closer.
“I didn’t realize that meant you were going to get hairy,
growl, and bite!”
The growling and hair wasn’t really a problem. Did she
really just think that? Of course it was a problem! A major fucking problem.
Okay the fucking wasn’t a problem. The fucking happened to be incredible. Oh
God, she’d lost her mind. She did want the animal.
He certainly wasn’t human anymore. However, she didn’t trust him. He’d bitten
her already. What would he do next? Chew off a leg? “Stay away from me.” When
she’d hoped he’d want to eat her, she hadn’t meant literally.
“I’m a werewolf. What did you think I’d look like? I didn’t
fully shift, Callie. That will happen when we join in the sacred bonding.”
“We’ve done all the bonding we’re going to and there was
nothing sacred about it.” Although during her orgasm she could’ve sworn she’d
seen the light. That was right before he bit her.
“The wolf inside hungers for his mate…I hunger for you.”
Callie stared. She could see him more clearly now. Narrowing
her eyes, she tried to detect a weakness in his position. Kean blocked the
exit, but there were still places she could maneuver to further move away from
him. However, her body hummed in a frequency tuned to his. Thoughts, not her
own, drifted through her mind. It seemed reasonable to assume he too felt the
link between them. What she didn’t know was if he was a man— or beast.
Fear squeezed at her chest like a vise. She fumbled with the
dress, pulled it over her head, and shimmied it down her body. Her hands shook.
The after effects of her orgasm still tingled between her legs. The rest of her
trembled with uncertainty.
Yellow eyes narrowed.
“Please don’t be afraid of me. I’m a man with a few special
traits.”
She put her hand on her shoulder over the bite. “You’re
covered with hair and you bit me!” Although she had to admit his tender licks
and taken the pain away. However, she had no doubt he’d left a mark. His
mark. Her skin puckered and swelled around the puncture wounds.
He took a step toward her.
Callie shrank against the wall. “I said stay away from me.”
Her voice quavered, and her eyes darted around the room looking for escape.
Kean closed his eyes and inhaled though his nose and exhaled
through his mouth. She could feel his calmness seeping into her, quieting the
storm of adrenaline raging within. Just like before, she was unable to resist the
soothing wash and embraced the comforting warmth. Her heart rate slowed, and
her breathing mellowed. “What are you doing to me?” She heard his whispers
inside her head.
His eyes opened. “You are my mate. Under Lycan law—“
Calmer now, she said, “No, we mated as in had sex.”
“You agreed. Lycan law—“
“Lycan law? What in the hell is Lycan law? I don’t care
about Lycan law.” She stuffed her panties into her purse. “Under the laws of
the socially accepted behavior of all cultures, you can’t bite people and expect
them not to be pissed!“ She narrowed her eyes. “I could press charges, you
know.” Yes, she was feeling much calmer. Rational thoughts overrode the wayward
yearnings of a few minute before. Well, most of them. She was dressed and had
her panties so she could leave and put this whole surreal event behind her.
“Callie, I knew who you were when you walked in tonight.”
“No you didn’t. Or we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
You thought I was Cindy Jones, escort.”
“You’re right. But regardless of your name or your
profession, I knew you were my mate.” He took a deep breath and let it out
slowly. “You can imagine my relief to know you aren’t a paid participant.”
“Forgive me if relief isn’t what I feel.” Sex with a total
stranger who morphed into a wild, sexual beast left her wanting again. And that
was not going to happen. Her vibrator would just have to do. “I don’t know you.
This is a one-night stand,” she shrieked.
“By coming here, you gave me no choice. I’ve claimed you for
my pack to see.”
She stopped fumbling with her purse and stared at him. What
had he said? It didn’t matter, she wasn’t sticking around to find out. Coming
out to the cougar club for a night of fun and fornication had been a lark.
She’d wanted to have a good time, not find herself with some werewolf that
probably just gave her rabies. Lycan law, give her a break. Sex with Kean went
far beyond her wildest fantasies. Truthfully, she’d never had rough sex, hadn’t
really understood what it implied. Fine, so the rough part felt pretty good until
it hurt. No, what she needed to do was get the hell out of the club.
Kean sniffed the air. “You can’t leave.”
“Why not?” She inched around the crates, making her way to
the light under the door.
“Because I’m not the only one who can smell your fear.”
Smell her fear? She paused.
“Callie, you need to stay in here…with me. I can explain and
then hopefully, you’ll accept me.”
“Not on your life.”
He took a step closer. “No, not my life, it would be yours.”
